Cardiac surgery is a surgery on the heart performed by a cardiac surgeon. It is usually done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (e.g. CABG), correct congenital heart disease, treat valvular heart disease, or for heart transplantation.

Cardiothoracic surgery is the branch of medicine involving the surgical treatment of diseases affecting organs inside the thorax (the chest) - generally treatment of conditions of the heart (heart disease) and lungs (lung disease). Cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery are separate surgical specialties, but are frequently grouped together as cardiothoracic surgery. Cardiac surgery generally refers to surgery of the heart and great vessels, and thoracic surgery generally refers to surgery of the chest other than the heart. A cardiothoracic surgeon will perform surgery within the realm of both cardiac and thoracic surgery.

Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
